Hi,

 

After reading

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample/blob/master/src/main/java/minecraftbyexample/mbe03_block_variants/BlockVariants.java#L212

I still have problems understanding how to use/write getMetadataFromState and getStateFromMetadata.

 

I want to have my block updated on the outside depending on how much fuel (in my case, ice) is left, actually I want to show kind of a progress bar on the outside of my block by using different textures. At the moment I am using JSON blockstate files with variants: 'facing=north,ice=ice2',...

But I don't get it to work.

 

Does anyone know how to do this or has any tips to get started again? Thanks in advance.

    At the moment?

     

    - Are they gonna change the metadata?

    - Is there no other way to do this?
